The Importance of Open Graph Tags
Have you ever pasted a link into a Slack channel, Discord server, or Twitter tweet, only to see a boring, text-only link with no image? That happens when a website is missing its Open Graph (OG) tags.
When you share a link, platforms scrape your HTML looking for meta property="og:..." tags. If they find them, they construct a beautiful "Social Card" that takes up more space on the feed and drives significantly more traffic.
Best Practices for OG Tags
- Title Length: Keep it under 60 characters so it doesn't get truncated on mobile devices.
- Description Length: Aim for 65-110 characters. Make it a compelling call-to-action.
- Image Size: The golden ratio for social cards is 1200 x 630 pixels (1.91:1 ratio). Always use absolute URLs (e.g., https://site.com/img.png).
